  • 16...how was a-rod #1? Computer error? Spazzed on Edberg
  • I got a 13, and I don't really watch tennis.

    of course, I got help for like 7 of them from the comments here, but I was able to get 6 on my own, and i blanked on #3, as I heard of him and should have gotten him.
  • 13... not bad ... who the hell is ivan lendi ????? lol

  • jerrygordon

      I have to doubt anyone who got John Newcombe right. I'm a HUGE tennis fan...watched and played it my whole life. And there is no one that would have gotten him without pulling it up somewhere. LOL

        I actually did get him...totally a fluke but thought he might be around just prior to connors and Mac.
